NBC cuts Chase order from 22 episodes to 18

NBC has cut back on their order for Chase, reducing their full-season order from 22 episodes to 18, the live feed | THR reports.

Despite the network’s unexpected full-season order back in October, it’s very unlikely that Chase will live on behind its first season. The Monday night drama is only averaging 5.490M viewers, a 3.6/6 HH rating/share and a 1.6/4 A18-49 rating/share through 10 episodes.

Among the seven newly launched NBC shows — Law & Order: Los Angeles, The Event, Undercovers, Outsourced, Chase, Outlaw and School Pride — Chase ranks fifth place and among all 21 newly launched scripted programs, the series ranks 14th.
